[Effect of age on valvular dysfunction and aortic dilatation in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve].
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aortic regurgitation was the commonest functional anomaly among younger patients in a group of 63 individuals with a diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve. With increasing age, a rise in the number with combined aortic valve disease and aortic stenosis was observed. Aortic dilatation was found in 65% of cases. Dilatation was independently associated with age and transvalvular aortic gradient.

Bicuspid Aortic Valve: An Unusual Cause of Aneurysm of Left Coronary Sinus of Valsalva
Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
متن کاملBicuspid Aortic Valve Disease and Ascending Aortic Aneurysms: Gaps in Knowledge
The bicuspid aortic valve is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly in developed nations. The abnormal bicuspid morphology of the aortic valve results in valvular dysfunction and subsequent hemodynamic derangements. However, the clinical presentation of bicuspid aortic valve disease remains quite heterogeneous with patients presenting from infancy to late adulthood with variable degrees of ...
متن کاملThe extent of the raphe in bicuspid aortic valves is associated with aortic regurgitation and aortic root dilatation
BACKGROUND The clinical course of bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) is variable. Data on predictors of aortopathy and valvular dysfunction mainly focus on valve morphology. AIM To determine whether the presence and extent of the raphe (fusion site of valve leaflets) is associated with the degree of aortopathy and valvular dysfunction in patients with isolated BAV and associated aortic coarctation...
متن کاملClinical and echocardiographic determinants in bicuspid aortic dilatation
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is associated with aortic dilatation. Timing of follow-up and surgery is challenging. Hence, there is an unmet clinical need for additional risk stratification. It is unclear whether valve morphology is associated with dilatation rates. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the association between clinical and echocardiographic determinants (i...
متن کاملCardiac magnetic resonance imaging of congenital bicuspid aortic valves and associated aortic pathologies in adults.
AIMS Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) represents the most frequent congenital cardiac abnormality resulting in premature valvular degeneration and aortic dilatation. In a large series of consecutive patients, we evaluated the distribution of BAV types and the associated valvular and aortic abnormalities. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated 266 patients (58 ± 14 years) with BAV using a 1.5 T cardia...
